Generator usage
 

I somewhat understand the generator issue as protecting plants and such from the exhaust but I do not understand complete banning. My husband is retired military and uses a cpap. We have stayed at many state parks and occasionally have lost power. When this happens we are comfortable to start generator and keep things running but to have no option means people would have to leave and go just outside the part to maintain a quality of life. Some units have an automatic system that the generator comes on when power is lost. Maybe changing this rule to allow people to maintain life systoand medical reasons to use generator.  As it is the Va state parks are more expensive than other states and VA has less sites with electricity. Please don’t force us to skip VA state parks! Our neighboring states have beautiful parks also.
